Fearful /Shy Dogs

Have you welcomed a new dog to your family but are frustrated with how afraid they are of everything and everyone ? So many rescue dogs struggle as they attempt to settle into their new homes. They are difficult to take for a walk, if you can even get them outside. They won’t go near the men in the family never mind anyone who visits or people they see outside. They are afraid of the dish washer, the noise on the street, trash day is a nightmare, and on an on. Dogs who are fearful need a structured plan of action so that they can relax, build their confidence and learn how to live in the world despite their fears. We have lots of great tips and games for helping these types of issues and coach you to training your dog to be a more confident, fun member of the family that enjoys going new places and meeting new people. Dedicating time to unlocking your dog’s potential means that you can share him with more people and enjoy your time together more fully.
We would love to coach you through the process and make sure you have a great time doing it !

Schedule your initial lesson so that we can meet your dog , help you set some goals and figure out how best to help you meet those goals so that your time together is fun and rewarding.
